Dutch design The Netherlands were primarily known for graphic design until the 1980s, when the term Dutch Design started to come into popular use. The term came to be closely identified with a group of Dutch product designers who have gained international recognition, particularly from the 1990s onwards. These include Maarten Baas, Jurgen Bey, Richard Hutten, Hella Jongerius, Wieki Somers, Hester van Eeghen and Marcel Wanders, as well as internationally recognised design firms and collectives like Droog and Moooi. Dutch design has a strong emphasis on content and can be characterised as minimalist, experimental, innovative, pragmatic and independent. Today a generation of Dutch designers is in search again of the aesthetic appeal of shape and finishes, and is now enjoying success. The co-founder of Droog, Gijs Bakker, said of the designer Stefan Scholten of the design duo Scholten & Baijings when he was still a student that he was not a "Droog designer". The fact together with his partner Carole Baijings Scholten is now one of the most successful Dutch designers is proof of the generation change that has been underway in Dutch design for a few years now. The conceptual approach is still there but at the same time Dutch designers address shape again.
